Popular online activist and controversial social commentator, VeryDarkMan, has raised a fresh alarm just days after being released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). This time, he’s accusing the anti-graft agency of planning to release his mugshot bearing money laundering and tax evasion charges allegations he vehemently denies.
In a fiery Instagram video posted on Friday, the outspoken critic warned the EFCC not to “spoil the new friendship” they’re building by framing him publicly with unproven charges.
“EFCC, you know we’re starting a friendship,” he said. “But if you share that mugshot with ‘money laundering’ written on it, then we’ve got a big problem. You’ll have to prove it to the whole of Nigeria.”
What Led to His Arrest?
VeryDarkMan’s arrest last week sparked a wave of backlash online, with fans, celebrities, and political figures demanding his immediate release. The arrest followed his visit to a GTBank branch in Abuja, where he had gone to resolve alleged unauthorized withdrawals from his mother’s account.
Instead of getting answers, he found himself behind bars.
The EFCC later responded to the uproar, claiming his arrest was linked to multiple petitions from unnamed individuals accusing him of financial misconduct. The agency has not released full details of the allegations.
Still Under EFCC Watch
According to his legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju, the EFCC is yet to return VeryDarkMan’s phone and car, despite his release on bail. Adeyanju described the continued seizure as unnecessary and unlawful.
Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan is not letting the dust settle. He warned the EFCC that if his mugshot surfaces online with “money laundering” labeled on it, he would treat it as public defamation and challenge the agency openly.
“Put ‘tax evasion’? No problem,” he said. “But if I see ‘money laundering,’ it means all the charges EFCC throws at people are fabrications. Don’t make me your example.”
A Fragile ‘Friendship’
While he sarcastically referred to his new relationship with the agency as a “friendship,” the influencer made it clear he’s watching their every move and won’t hesitate to speak out against any attempt to tarnish his image.
This latest twist adds to the long-running tension between the EFCC and outspoken critics, raising fresh concerns about transparency, due process, and the power of public institutions to influence perception before facts are established in court.
